![]() ![]() ![]() Count Kalliovski's very scary dog, Balthazar Count Kalliovski's very vampiric obviously-bad-guy appearance Meeting them in catacombs full of skeletons The times when it jumped out the most were when the good guys had anything to do with the bad guys: I think this was written as YA but pretty much everything about it felt like children's literature. I also like stories about the French Revolution and heard that this story was inspired by The Scarlet Pimpernel, which I read right after.ġ) Yann, a Romani teenager who spends the first book glowing up in a typical rags-to-riches tale and starts saving people from getting guillotinedĢ) His love interest, Sido, the daughter of a French noblemanģ) Count Kalliovski, the bad guy whose actual intentions I forget but who spent most of the time being creepy in the Paris catacombs and not getting over his dead crushes ![]() I thought to read it because I remembered having read "I, Coriander" by the same author in school and thinking it was cute. It sounds like a lot but the type is quite large and the writing style is simple so I read the whole lot in 2 days, which is actually really fast for me. This volume is 683 pages long and contains 2 books in 1. I read this about 3 years ago but I still remember my thoughts because I feel like it's a perfect example of my most hated trope: insta-love. ![]()
